- 2. Canaccord Genuity analysts commented, "Date and time of first dissemination: September 21, 2017, 23:12 ET Date and time of production: September 21, 2017, 20:41 ET Target Price / Valuation Methodology: Impax Laboratories – IPXL Our $19 price target is derived from a blend of DCF (7.7% WACC, +1% terminal growth) and a 9.2x forward EV/EBITDA on our 2018 estimates. IPXL shares currently trade around 8x our 2018 EV/EBITDA compared to a group average of around 9.2x. We think a group average EV/EBITDA valuation is warranted because of potential P&L leverage growing profitability faster than revenue which warrants a premium, a premium warranted for the company’s well-respected leadership offset by a discount to the group for relatively low expected top-line growth and a low-duration FTF/FTM based generics pipeline."
